the occasion was all the more pleasant, because

The machine is simple in construc.

er consists of four cylinders, q fan
and a series Of screws which ere
placed in a frame work Of wood and
iron about the same width of an
eighty saw gin. The cleaner is placed
in position 80 that it will deliver the
cleaned cotton direct to the roll box
OF the gin stand, the feeder is plsced
in the front end OF the cleaner and
regulated to deliver to the cleaner the
amount Of cotton required by the gin.
In passing the cotton through the
cleaner the locks and seeds OF cotton
are separated and freed of bulls, leaf.
sand, dust and other impurities. The
fan creates a draft of air to pass
through the machine taking out the
dust and light leaf aud discharges out
side of tbs gin house. The cotton when
il enters the,cleaner,t the locks and seeds
being separated and freed Of sand and
dust, require much lees power in being
ginned, and the gin saws, in separa.-
ing the hbers Of cotton from the seed,
does not cut or break the staple. The
process Of ginning is much more rapid
than If the seeds of cotton were not
separated. The noting is relieved by
this process, and therefore NO waste Of
lint. Several cotton experts here,
having Q 9 the sample of the cleaned
cotton, fully indsrse the committee Of
farmers Who were present at the trial
experiment, and think the staple in
creased in value half a cent per
